Fantasy Ideology

[Carrol Cox]

This doesn't answer my question. I'm just not willing to read to his
ridiculously long build-up to find out what it is he's saying. I don't
have a clue, and got too bored to try to read the rest of it. I don't
expect an abstract at the beginning of a political analysis, but I do
expect a sort of casual equivalent -- or I skip it. If it's important,
someone will sooner or later make the point without all the baroque
decoration.
